Here's your problem: fast_string_match_internal got a Lisp
string=XIL(0x3036ec4), but its data passed to re_search as the 2nd arg
is a NULL pointer.  You need to find out how this happens, e.g. by
setting a watchpoint on string's data inside Ffile_name_as_directory.
Or maybe the string is already corrupted there?
